|---|---|
| Name | Justin C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We live at the bottom of a valley so it's very difficult to judge questions around altitude. But the trail we saw (two of us) felt extremely close, and very low. The trail was quick not ultra fast, and seemed a lot thicker than when you normally see shooting stars high up in the sky. |
